It is D3 Colorado Red. Ford used the color on other vehicles and called it Colorado, only on the Mustang did they call that shade Torch.
And yep the stripes peel of easily when they are warm. So if you take a hair dryer outside and heat them up good they should peel away without leaving much residue. If there is any residue left use some Goo Gone or Dawn dish soap. It is such a clean look without them.

I agree we need some pics.


Edit: I agree with Edcologne, if you have no spoiler leave it alone. Spoiler-less is just such a sexy clean look.
But I'm biased.

If you wanted to do something with the front bumper, but didn't want to pay for an entire new bumper, you could go with one of the Cervini chin spoilers, in the black unpainted finish...
I love the way those look, compared to the wimpy chin spoilers most places offer.

Beautiful car.
I did a Flowmaster single exhaust on mine.
I get compliments on it all the time.

As for the stripes, warm them up a little bit, then put your finger nail under the edge and peel it up. You won't hurt your paint, just take it slow. The stripes of the consistency of electric tape, so it really is very very easy to take off. Just got test it a little bit and it will put your mind at ease.
